If you’re looking for an Arabian experience, a lot of fun and many exciting things to do, then come to the Al Dhafra Festival. It happens every December in the desert in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. This event was started 10 years ago so that Emiratis could celebrate their traditional Bedouin culture.
There are many events at Al Dhafra, including a classic car competition, Arabian horse race, and sheep beauty competition. There is also photography, a children’s village, best dates and dates packaging competitions. Or you could visit the big souk
or a falcon beauty show. The most important event is Camel Mazayan – a beauty contest for camels. The judges are looking for big camels with big heads, long necks, long bodies, big humps and backs. The beauty competition includes two types of camels– the yellow Asayel from Oman, and the black Majahim from Saudi Arabia.
There are many prizes you can win, such as trucks and there’s also a lot of money to win. The total prize money for the competition is about Dh46 million and includes 198 cars. But be careful—there are thousands of people competing for these prizes! If you want something new and exciting to do with your family, take them to the Al
!Dhafra festival. There is truly something for everyone

!My exchange trip to South Korea
I’m Ali. I was born in Fujairah, but I have lived in Abu Dhabi for most of my life. Last
year, I went to South Korea on a student-exchange program for one month. It was an
amazing experience, but it is very different from the UAE.
South Korea is a beautiful country with a lot of trees and flowers. I visited in
September, which is autumn. The weather was cool and all the trees turned different
shades of brown, yellow and orange. I loved the weather and all the beautiful
colours.
One of the biggest differences was the school hours. In South Korea, high school
starts at 8 am and finishes at 4pm, but that is not the end! There are extra study
hours where students sit quietly and study for two hours or more after school. After
that, some students go to private schools for more studying!
Another thing that was very different for me was the food. In South Korea, it is
normal to have rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I tried some delicious Korean
food, and my favourite was egg ramyeon, which is noodles with fried egg and
vegetables. It was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The best yet most difficult
!thing I learned to do was eat with chopsticks

The game of backgammon is a familiar sight in coffee shops across the Arab world.
You will easily recognise it from the wooden box laid out with triangles and its thirty
black and white pieces called ‘checkers’. It is one of the oldest board games in the
world and it is thought that it probably started in Iraq around 5,000 years ago.
Pictures and documents from ancient times have been found which show that the
Romans, the Ancient Greek and the Ancient Egyptians played a version of
backgammon. People in Iraq have even discovered a pair of ancient dice made from
human bone! The rules of the game have changed over time and so have the materials
that it is made from. In modern times the pieces are made from wood or plastic, not
!bone
There are different ways to play backgammon. In the simplest version, each player
takes fifteen checkers of the same colour: you put half on your side of the board and
the other half on the opposite side. You then take turns to throw the dice and move your
checkers across the board: the aim is to move all your checkers to your side of the
board and stop your partner doing so. Once your checkers are all in place, you may
take them off the board by throwing certain numbers on the dice. The first player who
takes all their checkers off the board wins the game.

Every year, we see new science-fiction films arriving in our cinemas. Sometimes
film companies come to the UAE to film parts of these films. They film in the desert
because it can look like the land you could see in another planet. The film-makers
for one science-fiction film chose an area near Abu Dhabi to represent the planet
Jakku.
Saad took part in this film as an extra. “It was hard work being an extra, but great
fun too. Of course, the main problem in the desert was the heat – and the bugs – so
we used to start work really early. The people in costumes, like the aliens, suffered
a lot and we had air-blowers to try and keep them cool! I was only involved in the
first five days of the filming, but that was enough, really. My father and I were both
extras, so we played father and son in the film. It was great to share the whole
thing with him.
